The new Type
9215A miniature force sensor from Kistler Instruments (www.kistler.com)
is only 23.3mm long and 6.0mm diameter and weighs only 2.5g making
it ideal for both laboratory and industrial applications where
space is at a premium.

This highly sensitive, piezoelectric force sensor is suitable
for measuring quasi-static and dynamic tensile and compression
forces from 1mN to 200N in three calibrated ranges. The sensor
has a sealed DIN 1.4542 stainless steel body with an M5x0.5 external
mounting thread and an M2 tapped bore for force input.

The highly sensitive measuring element fitted under low preload
gives the sensor very high rigidity with simultaneously low sensitivity
to transverse force and acceleration over the -50°C to +180°C
operating temperature range. The versatility offered by the three
measuring ranges, 2N, 20N and 200N, and the low force sensitivity
make the new sensor exceptionally suited to a wide range of applications
in product testing and for highly sensitive force measurements
in research and development.

The sensor comes with a force introducing cap and a fork wrench
as standard whilst connecting cables from 1m to 10m are available
options. With the cable connected and the O-ring correctly fitted
in the cable connector, the plug connection is splash proof to
IP65.
